It’s no longer true as of about two years ago no, but the measurement was always a bit skewed for Western audiences and glosses over increases in specific types of crimes ( categorically ) such as homicide bombings and domestic terrorism.
Cruel yes, unusual not by definition. It’s precedented and quite usual.
I did the same thing with the ancient seed in Stardew Valley
I absolutely believe that in a large city the culture you experienced was drastically different than what I experienced. I didn’t grow up in a city, and yeah things were pretty different for me as a result.
It’s okay, it just means your pocket of experience and mine pool from different demographics and normative values.
That’s a terrible concept masquerading as equity. In the future I suspect we’ll know better, but the double standard crap in this era is awful. There is no correct way to have racism, you either fight all of it, or not.
This mentality of punching up / down simply leads to outcomes of acceptable / unacceptable racism and that’s not the way to combat racism and inequality.
Revisionist history tbh, we absolutely did not know better in the 90s or early aughts, certainly not where I lived. The world was different before widespread Internet access and your pocket of culture, if it really was the way you think you know and remember was certainly not universal.
I always hated the ribbon context menu system. It ruins the way I learn watch involves where something is just as much as what it’s called, kinda like remember where on a physical page something is even if you don’t remember the page.
Static, nested menus are superior.
I think it sounds worse.
These tests get more and more elaborate
Honestly I think everything should move to 20.
Alcohol purchase, consumption. Military conscription, draft, voluntary service Age of majority, marriageable age Voting with automatic voting registration Drug consumption including nicotine, caffeine, and cabinets Driving ( permits at a prior age with supervision )
We know people’s brains aren’t really formed enough even at 18 to consider people adults, this younger age is a hold over from even younger ages and doesn’t reflect reality.
People who are not fully developed shouldn’t be able to make decisions with the full weight of adulthood, to take any other position is barbaric.
Memes taken down and replies deleted in conversations because they contain copyrighted text and images. Lyrics censored in online conversation. All video containing any image with a logo protected by trademark, or characters protected by international copyright, even when on T shirts and signs being taken down.
I agree, but I think all intellectual property laws should be repealed. I came to the conclusion that patent, copyright, and trademark are all varying levels of bad years ago and I think it clearly holds the human race and human progress back by limiting creative iteration.
What a pompous position to take. I sure hope you don’t make important decisions anywhere.
That’s on you if you want to dismiss my insights on the basis of the language I use to express ideas. Pretty surface level evaluation tbh, bruh.
Bro you have hundreds of tons of cold stone on the moon. I didn’t say space.
Yes but also no, might be significantly easier to cool for instance and no environmental concerns.
I got downvoted by people without critical thinking skills. A plant on the moon isn’t in space, it’s on the moon, a large cold rock, I don’t understand why no one charitably understood you can dissipate heat into the actual moon which is not warm and quite cold.
Nintendo doesn’t have a legal right to go after NES clones in the States because the patent on the NES expired and anyone is legally allowed to make perfect duplicates of NES hardware.
The only legal ground Nintendo has is software copyright for games they published and / or licensed ( probably just published )
This shows so much privilege. Apartments, townhomes, condominiums. Sometimes you’re scrolling through pages of Wi-Fi networks from your neighbors looking for your own SSID right next to the device.
Yeah, you can’t do shit about open Wi-Fi networks near you and promiscuous devices.
Broken arms
I’ve never understood what is meant literally when people talk about sitting on someone’s face.
I used to think it was a euphemism for oral sex, but honestly I often see it used differently or even literally? Is it a fetish? Is it about the scent?
I’m genuinely asking out of legitimate lack of clear intention.
